IANAL but this looks great! Congrats :)

My pottery teacher runs a law firm though, I’ll show it to her. Do you know if there are many differences in workflow or terminology between the US and UK?


Actually I’m based in the UK and can say corporate law practice is nearly identical. Thanks for sharing!


"The individuals unleashed on the Kwajalein Atoll are not rocket scientists — they lack the expertise, qualifications, and methodology required for real rocketry. At best, they’ve compiled a list of components that _might_ liftoff, but rocketry is a rigorous process requiring analysis, time, and, crucially, actual rocket scientists."


Anyone who has dabbled in KSP [1] knows that all it takes for lift-off is sufficient engine power and fuel storage plus enough struts to keep it all together until reaching orbit. If at first you don't succeed, add more engines and struts. If you don't succeed at all at least you'll have a spectacular explosion.

While clever, this is just flat out not true. Many (if not all) of the early SpaceX employees did indeed have backgrounds in aerospace and mechanical engineering.


You're quite right, I stand corrected; I thought it was only Mueller with direct experience :)


I lol'd, from the DeepSeek news release[1]: "Pushing the boundaries of open AI!"

The mic wouldn't setup on Safari or Brave, but after trying Chrome... this is great! Nicely done, thoroughly enjoyed playing.


From the source, looks like they're using Quarto: https://quarto.org

Thank you!


"PS Please excuse my not mailing this — but I don’t know your new address."

That hit hard.


Eurgh I actually Googled that, well played.


Could you solve this by searching on a read-only replica?


Convincing your devs to keep two handles two the db, one for reads one for writes from the beginning is a blessing.


DB client libs really should have this built in. Even the heavy-handed things wrapping them don't. I have my own that I copy into every new project with things like xactReadWrite(innerFunc) and xactReadOnly(innerFunc), where the read-only randomly picks from a pool of connections to read replicas.


Can you elaborate?


Determining whether a query is appropriate to hit the read replica is something I've never seen done automatically and well. But if you design your system from the beginning that when you make queries the developer chooses whether to hit the reader or writer by way of essentially do_query / do_query_reader then it's a million times easier scale reads and it doesn't have to come with any additional operational complexity when you're small you can just have both handles point to the writer but have a read-only user or set TRANSACTION READ ONLY on the session.


Some of it, yes.

But in practice, you want to fix a bug in chinese tokenization, or OpenAI releases the next version of its embeddings, or you want to add a few synonyms, or change the aggressiveness of the stemmer.

Then you have to rewrite your whole search index, and if its part of your primary db, you're pretty sad.
